.sasnb cell execution

[fabiocerutisas]

Describe the bug
Running multiple cells in a row in .sasnb notebooks leads to errors. Specifically, if you do shift+enter and execute multiple cells, the second, third, ... cells do not wait for cell 1 to finish running. They all try to run simultaneously and not sequentially.

Steps to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a .sasnb notebook with a two or more cells that will each take a couple of seconds to run and that depend on each other (i.e., cell 1 creates an output table used in cell 2 and so on...)
2. Go to cell 1 and press shift+enter as many times as you have created cells (this should lead to multiple cells running at the same time)
3. See error: you will notice that cell 2,3,4, etc. start executing immediately without waiting for cell 1 to finish. This will cause errors as the needed inputs for cell 2 won't be available yet as cell 1 has yet to finish running.

Expected behavior
The expected behavior in those scenarios is that cells should run one after the other and not simultaneously. The behavior should mimic that of .ipynb notebooks where if you use shift+enter to execute multiple cells, there will be a sequential running pattern and not a simultaneous one.

Note that the Execute Above Cells, Execute Cell and Below and Run All commands do execute cells in queue.

Will it be possible to embed this capability when executing shift+enter? That's the most typical way to run cells in notebooks

Also, from VSCode I am not seeing Execute Above Cells and Execute Cell and Below; if I click on the arrow on the left-hand side to run the cell I still experience simultaneous execution of multiple cells

Yes

Also, from VSCode I am not seeing Execute Above Cells and Execute Cell and Below;

It should be on the cell toolbar when focus is in a cell

Also note that you can always call a command via Command Palette, and optionally assign a shortcut.
